The DCD701F2 also comes with a nice belt hook, and the battery gauge is located on each battery rather than on the tool, so you can check batteries without having to insert them into the drill.
And the LED is positioned so that it illuminates the drill front better than most. The battery is designed so that the drill can stand upright when not in use (other drills, like the runner-up Bosch, need to be placed on their side). The molded handle seems to account for every curve and bulge of the hand, making this drill the most comfortable we’ve ever held. The DeWalt drill’s power is on a par with that of some other models we looked at, but it particularly excels in ergonomics and convenience features. These results show the drill can handle just about anything within the four walls of a home, and even the occasional foray into more aggressive work, like a small decking repair. In our tests, it bored 30 1-inch holes through a 2-by-10 on a single battery charge. Of course you need a decent bit for this, but the main point is that this cordless Ryobi drives the bit at a high speed through this truly hard material.The DeWalt DCD701F2 Xtreme 12-volt drill combines power, comfort, and convenience in a way that none of the other tested drills do. And yes, without a single hiccup we find the hammer action allows the bit to sink through the granite very easily.
Ryobi cordless drill review 18v full#
Firstly, it was simple to pinpoint our entry point, even on this uneven surface, because the variable speed on the trigger button works very well and is easy to manipulate, but once we had made that first embedding mark, we took the speed up to full and the dust flew. Now, much of our studio and its surrounds are made of granite and this has proved a problem for many a drill we've possessed in the past, so we had to try the Ryobi out on that truly hard natural stone. Well, we turned the hammer drill setting on, placed an 8mm masonry bit into the easily hand tightened chuck and first drilled into a concrete block - we set the gear setting to number 2 and the motor whizzed the bit through the concrete with absolutely no problem at all. Hammer Drilling: We felt that this mode was the most important to test well, given that the motor and battery strength are really put through their paces during the hammer action and any problems about this Ryobi combi drill's abilities would show under these pressures. The motor pleasingly never struggled in any of our tests and the battery capacity held up brilliantly. With the gear setting on 2 there is plenty of speed for more demanding drilling into metals or harder plastics, etc. With the gear setting on number 1 it will not go too fast and you have good control over the drill. Standard Drilling: Well balanced and comfortable to use, this drill makes for easy-going when drilling through woods and other softer general materials where the hammer action is unnecessary. The new brushless motor is an important part of this Ryobi combi drill/driver, giving hopeful longevity, a 60Nm torque and 40% more use on a single charge with our 5.Ah battery. Alongside this, all the other function switches light up except for the chuck direction switch. There is also a very good front facing LED light which automatically comes on whenever the trigger is pressed, and the beam is cleverly centred exactly where the bit meets the work in hand. It has an easy twist 13mm keyless chuck mechanism and includes onboard storage which has a two ended screwdriver bit included. It is well-balanced when held with one hand and the rubber grip and trigger are perfectly positioned for optimum comfort in use. This new Ryobi cordless hammer drill/driver (R18PDBL) from the company's own ONE+ system has a brushless 18v motor and we're running it on the very latest high performance Lithium+ 5.Ah rechargeable battery. With the Ryobi ONE+ system the £129.99 drill/driver is bought separately to the charger and battery, because the latter items can be used across a wide variety of over 50 other Ryobi cordless tools.īuilt with durable plastics and a good amount of protective rubber material this is a nicely compact drill/driver which nevertheless feels solid, having a weight of just over 2kg with the 5.Ah Lithium+ battery attached.
